Go knots! Thank you Matthew for holding the ground and staying at vanguard of the protest against kids in Core.

Have you read Greg Maxwell's view on all of the op_return saga?

Oh, the code! All hail the power of the code!

If you running Bitcoin Core don’t update.

Run Knots.

Great video

🧡👊🏻🍻

One of Softwar’s key concepts, extended to the broader context of developers with centralized control mentalities:

Software as Power Hierarchies: Lowery describes software as an abstract hierarchy where developers exert influence by writing and maintaining code, akin to projecting power in cyberspace. Developers used to being "God-Kings"—those who dominate projects through technical expertise, control over repositories, or charismatic authority—often thrive in centralized systems (e.g., proprietary software or corporate-led open-source projects). In these environments, they can dictate terms, gatekeep contributions, or steer development to align with their vision. Softwar suggests that such hierarchical control is natural in software but contrasts this with Bitcoin’s decentralized model, where no single developer can unilaterally impose their will due to the protocol’s reliance on distributed consensus.

Abstract power corrupts.

Watch out "God-Kings".

Hi Matthew i want to thank you for all the great work you have done for bitcoin and more recently about exposing Core.

Worrying about mempool is nice, but what about the actual blockchain? What do we do about that?

I like a weedy garden.

Thank you
